Stayed here for 6 nights. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Grounds were kept clean. The room sufficient for my needs. Tours and excursions can be booked on site. Location was great, a grocery store just across the street and it was not too far from town; 10min by taxi to the Zimbabwe border.

We enjoyed our stay but the wifi at our room (Lozi) was very weak and unreliable had to get a local sim, the room had mosquitoes even after spraying repellent. Otherwise a pleasant and affordable place in Livingstone. Staff are helpful and friendly.

The hostel is centrally located with a wonderful garden, pool, and bar area (a wonderful space in the center of Livingstone, minutes from the museum). The pizzas are to die for. We are regular visitors.

Had a great stay at fawlty towers. The room had aircondition and mosqito net. It was a basic room but was clean and with a comfortable bed. A big outdoor area, kind of like a little park and with a pool, bar and restaurant. The staff was very nice and helpfull. Location was very central with a small shopping center across the street. Bars and restaurants were walking distance, althoug its recomended to take a taxi at night. Highly recomendable.

This place is a beautiful oasis in the middle of a very busy Zambian city. When you step through the gates, you step into a peaceful lovely garden where the service is great and the staff are super helpful and friendly!

My room was perfect, especially with AC since it was quite humid with all of the rain. The bed was cozy, the shower strong. The food is delicious: a tasty morning fry-up, free afternoon pancakes, and delicious hand.ade and wood fired pizza. But the best? The incredibly welcoming and friendly staff. I stayed here at the beginning and ending of my month in Africa and would definitely stay here again on a future journey.

Everything was really nice and beautiful. Whether it was the friendly staff or the nice organisation. The only thing is that you can offer more choice at dinner. The pizza is nice but for a longer stay….

Amazing property, it is very well maintained and the staff is extremely friendly. The General Manager is open to feedback and the only that I have is that the common areas are a bit warm in the afternoon / evening and buggy. I recommended large ceiling fans for comfort as that is the only location there is WiFi. He mentioned they have ordered ceiling fans and are working on getting Starlink as soon the Internet.

We won’t stay anywhere else. The rooms are beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful, it is a fun and relaxed place to stay while you see the sites and you always meet fun and interesting people there. Their tour guides are the best as well.
